No it won't. Your case is not wide enough.

Yeah but it is even bigger and way more expensive

Ok give me your budget. Also the problem with the u12s is not how wide it is, the problem is that it is too tall if you can imagine it { -| }.
The {} is the case sides, the - is the fan and the | is the motherboard. Problem with u12s is that it will hit the case because it's too tall, while the other one would not, because it's shorter even though its wider.

My budget is 80-100 aus dollars I looked at the dimensions of the cpu cooler i asked and it said 12cm i think it could fit

It's 158mm tall, your case supports up to 150mm, might fit but not recommended. I would go for the CRYORIG H7. Cheaper, really efficient.
